Bradley thinks the proprietary relicensing business model that
Michael Widenius supports is on that has run its course and
probably should not be used anymore (20:54)

Segment 1 (22:16)

Bradley said that if it were up to him, all published and deployed
software in the world would be Free Software, and he wishes that the
European Commission would require that for the merger to go through,
but it's not their mandate to do such things. (23:50)

Bradley said if he could make a wish, that he'd wish the European
Commission would put the MySQL code base into a non-profit entity
chartered to never make MySQL proprietary, and to release it under
GPLv3-or-later. (25:45)

Bradley pointed out that it might be good if before that, Oracle
releases MySQL under GPLv3 to get the extra patent assurances, although
Karen points out Eben's letter raises the issue that there is an
implicit patent assurance from the GPLv2 release of MySQL
already. (26:01)

Bradley mentions Oracle's ownership of MySQL copyrights is
dangerous because Oracle's goal is to take away software freedom from
the world with regard to databases, by trying to get all users to
switch to proprietary databases, and that they are likely to use the
MySQL codebase toward this horrible mission. (29:40)

Bradley pointed out that any organization that isn't committing to
releasing all its software as Free Software is a dangerous place for
centralized copyright of a FLOSS codebase. (32:04)

Karen is skeptical about for-profit corporate control of Free
Software because they will always focus on shareholder value over
software freedom principles. (36:08)
